Wow, I can't thank you enough for the wealth of information!  

Jose, it sure sounds like you guys have deep connection with the neighborhood and knows the under current of the area. Good luck on you guys' investment!  

Man Matthew, you're a guru!  Thanks for supplying your deep knowledge of the area.

Thanks again for the info, Lucas.

Thanks for all the feedback!  Especially from Lucas and Jose.

Jose, it sounds like Little Village still have some issues, but your brother is investing there so he must have seen potential, even if it's a flip.   Do you see potential there as well?

Lucas, thanks for your info, it's very informative. 

I have been told not to go west of S. California Ave for it's still too gritty.  Would you guys agree with that? 

Are the gun violence in Pilsen/HoC/Little Village that bad?  I looked at the crime map and it shows that while violent crimes do exist in those neighborhoods, they pale in comparison to some other neighborhoods.

Hi all,

I'm looking to invest in multi-units in the West Side for I see a lot of potential there.   Pilsen is my top choice but prices have risen and I am not seeing the kind of return that I like there.  I do see a few properties just west of Pilsen in Heart of Chicago that I find attractive number wise.   And further west in Little Village, a bit more properties that fall into my like category.

While I'm bullish on Pilsen, I'm not that familiar with the two nabes west of it.  What are your thoughts?  Any gentrification happening there?  Any new hip business moving there?  Any spillover from Pilsen?   Appreciate any insight from you guys.

Speaking of Pilsen, while I'm bullish, the gentrification process seems to be happening slower than I anticipated.  Anyone thought the same?
